| [Answer: G#. Response if correct: “Correct! The chordal seventh resolves down by step to G#.” Response if incorrect: “Incorrect. Remember, the chordal seventh must resolve down by step. Try again.”]
[Follow-up activity:] Complete the V chord by adding the resolution of the chordal seventh and the two remaining voices. [Answers:  or  ]
Exercise 7.6d: Where should the chordal seventh of the ii  (F) chord resolve to?
[Answer: E. Response if correct: “Correct! The chordal seventh resolves down by step to E.” Response if incorrect: “Incorrect. Remember, the chordal seventh must resolve down by step. Try again.”] [Follow-up activity:] Complete the V chord by adding the resolution of the chordal seventh and the two remaining voices. [Answers:  or  ]
Example 6 demonstrates the proper preparation and resolution of a chordal seventh using a ii7 chord as an example, but this treatment can be used for any seventh chord. Consider the following example: Example 7: 
Example 7 shows a progression where a vi7 chord, prepared by a iii chord, resolves to a ii chord. Again, we see the falling-fifth motion between the root of the vi7 chord (A) and the resolution ii chord (D). The seventh of the vi7 chord (G) is prepared as a common tone in the preceding iii chord, and resolved downwards by step to F. These same rules may be used for any other seventh chord. A iii7 chord, for example, typically resolves to vi. (These two seventh chords, vi7 and iii7, are usually found in root position.)
